RUSSIAN DESIGN HISTORY 1917-2017

10.09.2017 — 25.10.2017

Location: #ARTLAB, Tobolsk, Cheluskintsev street 1

Curator: Alexandra Sankova, Director of Moscow Design Museum

Organized by: Moscow Design Museum, SIBUR, #ARTLAB

The first exhibition in the history of modern Russia, where the best examples of Russian design from 3 most important periods of its history - constructivism (1917 - 1935), socialism (1950-1980) and modernity (1990 - 2017) - will be displayed side by side.

"The history of Russian design is a very interesting topic. Objects created, for example, by constructivists in the 1920s, have received wide international recognition. In the 1960s, almost each Ministry in the Soviet Union had accredited design institutes and special art and design bureaus. However, today very few people know about this. It's nice to see contemporary designers becoming successful not least due to using the experience of the previous generations. The exhibition is a brief history of Russian design for the last 100 years," says the curator Alexandra Sankova.

The project is realized as part of the "Culture" direction of the SIBUR charity program "Good Deeds Formula".
